Chongqing's Yunyang government announced on Aug. 19 that after over one
month of evaluation by experts, two strange stones moved out from
Yunyang's "Panshi Stone Forest" were estimated to be at a sky-high price
of five million yuan. These two strange stones at sky-high price are both
unique in appearance and named "eagle spreading wings" and "Galloping
Horse." They came into existence in Jurassic times and were originally
located below the water level of 135 meters in the southern bank of the
Yangtze River, which made them more valuable. At present, the "immigrant"
stones are in Binjiang Stone Forest Park in Yunyang new township.
